...government, which was still defying public opinion by resisting a 2.5% pay raise for the nation's nurses (many earn only $20 weekly), was lambasted on all sides.

By week's end, openly rebellious Conservative backbenchers were charging that pay inequities were directly responsible for the Tories' sweeping electoral setbacks over the past six months.
